PNGase F (Glycerol-free), Recombinant
NEBU cloned at NEB recombinant 37 75 Heat

Product Introduction

PNGase F is the most effective enzymatic method for removing almost all N-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. PNGase F (Glycerol-free), Recombinant is a recombinant amidase, which cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides. 

  • Recombinant enzyme; guaranteed endoglycosidase F1, F2 or F3 free
  • Glycerol-free for optimal performance in HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis
  • ≥ 95% purity, as determined by SDS-PAGE and intact ESI-MS
  • Optimal activity and stability for up to 24 months
  • Can be used under native or denaturing conditions
  • Optimized for deglycosylation of glycoproteins; leaves N-glycan core oligosaccharides intact and suitable for further analysis

Product Information

Description


 
Peptide: N-Glycosidase F, also known as PNGase F, is a recombinant amidase which is supplied glycerol free for optimal performance in HPLC intensive methods. PNGase F cleaves between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues of high mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides from N-linked glycoproteins (1).

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to remove > 95% of the carbohydrate from 10 μg of denatured RNase B in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 10 μl.

1X Glycoprotein Denaturing Buffer
0.5% SDS
40 mM DTT

1X NP-40
1% NP-40 in MilliQ-H2O

Reaction Conditions

1X GlycoBuffer 2
Incubate at 37°C

1X GlycoBuffer 2
50 mM Sodium Phosphate
(pH 7.5 @ 25°C)

Storage Buffer

50 mM NaCl
20 mM Tris-HCl
5 mM EDTA
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Heat Inactivation

75°C for 10 minutes

Molecular Weight

Apparent: 36000 daltons

Unit Assay Conditions

10 μg of RNase B are denatured with 1X Glycoprotein Denaturing Buffer at 100°C for 10 minutes. After the addition of NP-40 and GlycoBuffer 2, two-fold dilutions of PNGase F (Glycerol-free), Recombinant are added and the reaction mix is incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. Separation of reaction products are visualized by SDS-PAGE.

Application Features

  • Removal of carbohydrate residues from proteins

Product Notes

  1. To deglycosylate a native glycoprotein, longer incubation time as well as more enzyme may be required.
  2. Since PNGase F (Glycerol-free), Recombinant activity is inhibited by SDS, it is essential to have NP-40 in the reaction mixture. It is not known why this non-ionic detergent counteracts the SDS inhibition at the present time.
  3. PNGase F (Glycerol-free), Recombinant will not cleave N-linked glycans containing core α1-3 Fucose.
  4. Recommended storage temperature is 4°C, avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. Is there a difference between PNGase F (P0704/P0705) and PNGase F, Recombinant (P0708/P0709)?
  2. I tried deglycosylating my glycoprotein with Remove-iT® PNGase F but did not see removal of the carbohydrate. What could be the problem?
  3. What happens to the asparagine after PNGase removes the sugar?
  4. Why is protein degraded? When I denature and add SDS all I see on my SDS-PAGE is a smear or no protein. Can a protease inhibitor cocktail be used in a PNGase F, Recombinant reaction?
  5. What is the difference between PNGase F, Endo H and O-Glycosidase?
  6. Does PNGase F work in Urea?
  7. What are the typical reaction conditions for PNGase F, Recombinant?
  8. How much PNGase F, Recombinant should I use to remove my carbohydrate under native or DTT denaturing conditions?
  9. How do I inhibit PNGase F, Recombinant?
  10. Is PNGase F, Recombinant compatible with downstream analysis such as HPLC and Mass Spectrometry?
  11. What are Glycosidases and their uses?
  12. Do detergents inhibit exoglycosidases/endoglycosidases?
  13. Why have the NEB Glycosidase enzymes changed reaction buffers? What are the new reaction buffers and can I still use an enzyme with its old buffer? Where can I find the composition of the old buffers?
  14. What is a good endoglycosidase substrate?

Tech Tips

  1. You can use this enzyme under native or denaturing conditions
  2. Under native conditions we recommend adding more enzyme and using longer incubation times
  3. PNGase F activity is inhibited by SDS, therefore under denaturing conditions it is essential to have NP-40 present in the reaction mixture in a 1:1 ratio.
  4. PNGase F will not cleave N-linked glycans containing core α1-3 Fucose (PNGase A must be used in this instance)
  5. A good positive control substrate is RNase B
